Re-using the abandoned warehouse: giving back to the neighborhood
01/PRIMARY SCHOOL & KINDERGARTEN
ASSIGNMENT
Replace the existing school near Malvarrosa beach (Valencia) with a school and kindergaarten complex that is well integrated into the city fabric, while also creating quality spaces for learning and playing?
STRATEGY
By imposed by the urban fabric, the school blocks are oriented towards the southeast, which is the optimal orientation.

ASSIGNMENT
Ruzafa is a vibrant, multicultural neighborhood in Valencia, and each and every one of its blocks has its own courtyard, which are mostly left un-used. How can we make the most out of these often “wasted” residual spaces in the city?
STRATEGY
We have used our block´s courtyard to create an alternative, more pleasant path by transforming it into a co-working, nursery and garden space for the neighborhood, which can be accessed through the 2 buildings we have also designed, blurring the line between what is seen as strictly public or private.

2 co-working and studying spaces, with libraries, conference rooms and public bathrooms)
3 cafeteria
4 access to parking, parking ventilation & lighting
5 greenhouse for urban garden
Public spaces are treated as a fluid that travels freely into the building and into the courtyard, blurring the lines between what is strictly public or strictly private.
ASSIGNMENT
STRATEGY
Valencia’s port area has beautiful old brick warehouses in need of a new purpose. This project reimagines the Ership warehouses as a sports facility, revitalizing the space and creating a social hub for the neighborhood.
The warehouse’s high ceilings and spacious structure are ideal for aerial dancing, which needs ample height and room for safe, comfortable practice.
By designing a crawling metal structure, we have been able to create rent levels that pour into the main central space, which is where the dancers would perform and train.
